• Pays-de-la-Loire: Gastronomy-

  The essence of the region’s gastronomy is found in its waters. The Loire and its tributaries provide salmon, trout, carp, shad and pike, served grilled in a salt crust, or with a beurre nantais (butter, shallots and wine sauce). The Atlantic coast spoils visitors with its superb shellfish: oysters, mussels, prawns, lobsters and clams can be savored at any time of day––and with any sauce––in the restaurants fronting local fishing ports. Around Guérande, the ocean offers its fleur de sel, an all-natural unprocessed salt that gives a new meaning to seasoning.

  After displacing the powerful Cenomanni and Carnute tribes during the Iron Age, the Romans occupied what is now Pays de la Loire in 52 BC. They created the towns of Angers and Le Mans as well as many agricultural estates. Christianity gained the ascendancy in 313 and the following centuries witnessed a series of invasions, notably the Vikings in the 9th century.
